MardaveMeteor Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Hi All New to the forums so I better introduce myself, I've been enjoying RC for dare I say over 30 years! Great hobby I've had a few lapses where I've stepped away from RC but I've always found myself coming back. I've got quite a few cars, in-fact too many to list on the forum (at least thats what it told me!) This is my current line up :- Mardave Meteor Mardave Marauder Tamiya Falcon Tamiya Wild One (original) Kyosho Rocky Schumacher Cougar Schumacher CAT XL Yokomo 'Super Dogfighter' YZ870c Tomy Intruder Robbe Death Adder Yankee Concept 92 1/4 scale Hobao Hyper 7 TQ2 HPI Baja 5B SS Firstly I'm not good at painting RC bodies... not good at all, but thought i'd try something different.... different to my usual single colour paint jobs that is!........ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34010-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34011-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34009-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34007-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34008-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34006-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34005-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34004-/ Still have to finish it off, but for a first attempt it came out better than I expected.

Nitroholic Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 ~That shell needed some green on it Personally, I would go for some Tamiya 'smoke' for the windows. You don't want to black them out completely, but that helps to tint the screens and hides the insides a bit. You can vary the tint depending on how many coats you give it. Looks good though!

MardaveMeteor Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Or leave it as is and replace that nitro muck with a brushless setup Haha well I could pull the guts out and strap some batteries in it but.........

Welcome to the forum Thanks, I was very tempted to add some green to the bottom of the shell but decided to go with a simple red n white design, that's not to say I won't do another she'll with a splash of green :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
